Valve Stem Installation

V a l v e   S t e m   I n s t a l l a t i o n

Shine a flashlight through the rim to illuminate the valve stem hole.
Use a sharp object to cut the tape from the valve stem hole.

Remove the nut and o-ring from the valve stem. 
Insert the new valve stem through the rim.
Install the o-ring onto the valve stem.

Thread the nut onto the valve stem so that the recessed 

side faces the rim. This will allow the o-ring to seal against 

the nut and prevent air from leaking out of the wheel.

NOTICE

Do not use a tool to tighten the nut; it must be handtight 

only. Overtightening the nut can lead to a slow leak. 

This concludes the Zipp Tubeless Rim Tape Service. Install the tire according to the tire manufacturer's instructions.
